The upper part, which consists of a vertical cylinder whose cross section has an area of 10 square inches, and is open at the top to receive the rain, being connected at its lower part with a funnel and pipe, through which the rain runs to a receiver beneath. This upper part is made either of brass or of sheet iron japanned but in either case the upper rim is of brass, and is formed into a well defined sharp edge. The side of the cylinder is high enough to prevent the rain when striking the funnel from rebounding out of the gauge. This part of the apparatus is shown in an inverted position in Fig. I (c).
